  • 262: Plants Are Screaming and No One’s Listening
    2025/04/25

    Plants are screaming… and apparently bats are listening.

    In this five-year anniversary episode of the Funny Business Podcast, Mike and Matt uncover a bizarre but real study: stressed plants emit ultrasonic clicks when they’re thirsty, injured, or just having a rough day. We’re talking tomato cries, cactus complaints, and the very real possibility that your lawn hates you.

    Also on deck: Matt’s Community Take It returns with top-tier listener prompts. Topics include traumatic fish tales (RIP Hambone), SpongeBob characters in the WWE (spoiler: not Mr. Krabs), the rising cost of golf, and a hot take on the Ice Bucket Challenge somehow making a comeback.

    The episode is part celebration, part science experiment, and entirely the chaos you’ve come to expect after 262 episodes.

  • 259: Sydney Sweeney’s DMs, April Fools Fails & a SpongeBob Quiz
    2025/04/04

    In this episode, Mike hits Matt with the ultimate SpongeBob SquarePants trivia challenge. We’re talking everything from Mermaid Man to Ol’ Reliable—and debating whether Plankton’s actually the villain or just an underdog with a dream. (Also, what is going on with Mr. Krabs and his whale daughter?)Then, we dive into baseball’s hottest controversy: the Yankees’ “torpedo bats.” Are they smart? Legal? Cheating? All three?We also break down why April Fools’ Day jokes are mostly bad, why Sydney Sweeney’s DMs are probably a war zone, and why cherry blossom season in D.C. is way more chaotic than you think. Plus, Mike’s selling parking, Matt’s buying peanut butter cookies, and we both agree—spring cleaning is the real MVP.
